We are delighted that many of our students will continue their journey at Bellerive’s sixth form to study A Levels and Level 3 BTECs. We congratulate all students on their achievements and thank our fantastic staff, governors, parents, carers, and families for their support throughout our students’ secondary education.

Headteacher Mr Forsey said:

“I am incredibly proud of every single one of our Year 11 students. It has been wonderful to celebrate their excellent results and to see how far they have come during their time at Bellerive. These results are a celebration of all that has been achieved through the combination of hard work, high-quality teaching and pastoral care, and being part of a community with a strong ethos of faith and service to others. We wish each Year 11 student well with their next steps and we know they have a wonderful future and many opportunities ahead of them.”

Deputy Headteacher Mrs Cadman added:

“It’s been such a joy to see our Year 11 students shine this year. Not only have they worked hard and made excellent academic progress, but they’ve also grown into mature, confident young women who are ready to embrace the challenges of whatever comes next. They’ve been a real pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be more excited to see where their journeys take them.”
